LinkQuest Inc. is among the world's top innovators in underwater acoustic technologies. Two of LinkQuest's co-founders hold Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from University of California at Berkeley. Our engineering staff, more than 15 of them holding Ph.D. degrees, have many years of in-depth industrial and academic experiences in broadband underwater acoustics, high-speed digital modems, spread-spectrum wireless (cellular) modems, acoustic Doppler technology, broadband transducer, array signal processing, digital imaging processing, advanced DSP hardware and software, telecommunication networks and protocols, and precision navigation. LinkQuest invests heavily in R&D and currently produces six lines of products.
LinkQuest is the dominant supplier of underwater
acoustic modems in the world. Its SoundLink High Speed Acoustic Modems
transport more than 95% of the world's acoustic communication data. These
systems have set a series of technical performance records in field
deployments all over the world. The high-speed, power efficient underwater
acoustic (wireless) modems represent quantum leaps in underwater acoustic
communication. Based on the proprietary Broadband Acoustic Spread Spectrum (BASS)
Technology, LinkQuest's modems achieve unprecedented wireline quality in
wireless underwater communication under harsh ocean environments. They have formed the world's largest underwater acoustic communication networks with hundreds of nodes.
LinkQuest's line of TrackLink
Acoustic Tracking Systems provide the world's most robust,
accurate and cost-effective Ultra Short BaseLine (USBL) solutions. The TrackLink systems are the
world's best selling USBL tracking systems. These systems are capable of
rejecting severe ship noise and multipaths. They provide substantial cost
savings when compared with competing products. Fully integrated with
LinkQuest's most advanced high-speed acoustic modems, they significantly
reduce the total system size, weight and power consumption and eliminate
acoustic interference.
FlowQuest Acoustic
Current Profilers are ideal
for measuring currents and flows in oceans, harbors, lakes and rivers.
With its capability for significantly longer range, standard deepwater
depth rating and seamless integration with third-party sensors and
LinkQuest acoustic modems, the FlowQuest system is not just a current
profiler but also serves as a focal point for underwater deployments.
NavQuest Doppler
Velocity Logs (DVL) are
ideal for precision underwater navigation and positioning of underwater vehicles.
With their capability for fast and accurate velocity output, significantly
longer range and smaller minimum altitude when compared against similar
products, the NavQuest Doppler Velocity Logs (DVL) are the excellent
choices for underwater precision navigation applications.
EchoSweep 300 Multibeam Echosounder is a high-resolution, highly robust and cost-effective
swath bathymetric system for mapping of sea floor, inland waterways and reservoirs. The EchoSweep system is a useful
tool for hydrographic and bathymetric surveys, underwater inspections, dredging, pipeline inspection, cable-laying,
and many other underwater applications.
PinPoint LBL Acoustic
Positioning Systems are
highly robust and accurate Long BaseLine (LBL) positioning systems. These
systems have superior capability in rejecting multi-paths. They excel in
narrowly confined, long-range shallow water and noisy environments.
Precision Marine Geodetic
System is the world's only
commercial acoustic positioning system capable of better than 0.5 cm in
accuracy. These systems have been extensively deployed for Tsunami and
earthquake monitoring and prediction.
Since 1998, LinkQuest's products have been
extensively deployed in more than 75 countries around the world for offshore oil exploration,
construction, drilling, survey, environmental study and other
oceanographic applications. LinkQuest has earned an extraordinary
reputation in terms of product performance, product quality and customer
support.
